Poll: Allen, Kaine even
By Joseph Liss | September 27, 2011Democrat Tim Kaine has not lost any ground to Republican George Allen in the state's U.S. Senate race, despite President Obama's falling approval ratings, according to a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University released this month. The poll indicates that the two candidates "remain in a statistical dead heat more than 13 months before the voting." Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics, said in an email he thinks the campaign for president will have a significant effect on this Senate race. "Neither the Kaine campaign nor the Allen campaign is isolated from the top of the ticket [or their party's Presidential nominee], whatever a poll may show 14 months ahead of the election," Sabato said.
